Ventura Express
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with.

From the connections
“Ventura Express jumped a little bit slow but he soon travelled well through the race and he picked up and won nicely. I thought he would run well but I didn't quite expect that. He's been gelded which makes a massive difference because I don't think there's much else different than what Richard Fahey does, they're a lot better than us! - Paul Midgley, trainer.”
